Desensitization Therapy in Impotence and Frigidity: Review of the Literature and Report of a Case
Abstract
The author reviews the available scientific literature on the use of behavior therapy in the treatment of impotence and frigidity, noting that there is a dearth of published information in this area. Behavioral techniques are described, and a case of impotence and anhedonia that responded well to relaxation/desensitization therapy is presented. The author concludes on the basis of his clinical experience and review of the literature that desensitization has definite value in the treatment of impotence and frigidity.
